Some betrayals are loud. Others are just silence stretching too far. War doesn’t just destroy cities — it destroys relationships. Here’s my essay about what happens when love, friendship, and family don’t survive war.

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

I’d like to print this out in huge quantities and airdrop it like propaganda leaflets above certain European decision-making centres

A good one by @carolinedegruyter.bsky.social (thanks for the recommendation @nvondarza.bsky.social).

I regularly get fed up with the defeatism that ebbs and flows on the continent and wholeheartedly agree that Europeans should be more possibilist !

The headwinds are surmountable, but the continent is giving up on the idea of progress.

There is no place like Lapland in Winter, so it’s a real pleasure to be at the North-South Summit in Saariselkä.

Thank you Petteri Orpo for hosting the event!

Our agenda has less seasonal character: European defence, Ukraine and migration.

Things sent to Ukraine that won’t cause WWIII:
-Javelins
-HIMARS
-ATACMS
-Tanks
-Jets
-Permission to hit Russia with the above

Things likely to cause WWIII:
-Appeasing genocidal autocrats
-Enriching expansionist dictators
-Failing to respond when the above sabotage and attack us

Analysed for @carnegieendow.bsky.social the multidimensional challenge that Russian hybrid warfare poses to European countries. Democratic societies are vulnerable to attacks in ways that can’t fully be prevented if democracy is to prevail. That requires flexibility and creativity in responding.
